Miss Baker will be keeping a record of who can manage themselves and their time and complete their homework each week. Those who do complete their homework on time will be rewarded!
Homework is given out every Tuesday and due in the following Tuesday. This gives families the week and weekend depending on when they have the most time available. Please come and see Miss Baker if your child gets stuck on a homework task or if you run out of time to complete all the tasks.
